A man you can bait with a Tweet

I watched WAY too much cable news this cycle. NEVER AGAIN!

But what I can say is that that Delgado woman is one of his most batsh#t insane surrogates roaming the face of this earth. She was just generally loud, rude, argumentative (not that all pundits aren't but she displayed a level of disbelief at people arguing points against her that I found out) and had some of the worst logic of the bunch. Not a fan, and naturally not happy she's an ancillary piece to our new government.

For some reason, Trump likes the infighting. He's publicly admitted as much. As much as we view it as dysfunctional, I guess he thinks it's a managerial asset?

 
It's kind of scary the extent to which Trump's fashioned himself as a modern day prophet-hero.

Oh, he and everyone else, I guess.

So what's truly terrifying is the extent to which millions follow him.

Donald Trump unable to dissolve charitable foundation due to criminal investigation

Donald Trump may have vowed to dissolve the controversial foundation established in his name, but officials said he cannot do so while it is the subject of criminal investigation.

The President-elect said that he wanted to close the Donald J. Trump Foundation in an effort to try and remove any potential conflicts of interest before he takes office on January 20.

But the office of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, said the 70-year-old Republican would be unable to proceed with the plan, as the foundation remained the subject of a probe.

“The Trump foundation is still under investigation by this office and cannot legally dissolve until that investigation is complete,” said Amy Spitalnick, a spokeswoman for Mr Schneiderman.

The Associated Press said the workings of the foundation have been under investigation for several months. The charity has admitted that it violated IRS regulations barring it from using its money or assets to benefit Mr Trump, his family, his companies or substantial contributors to the foundation.

The news agency said the admissions by the charity were in a 2015 tax filing made public after a presidential election in which it was revealed that the tycoon had used the charity to settle lawsuits, make a $25,000 political contribution and purchase items, including a painting of himself.

Methinks Donald is feeling a bit insecure about his "charitable foundation."

And, just for kicks, here is Charity Navigator's ratings for both the Clinton Foundation and the DJT Foundation:

Clinton Foundation:

Overall: 94.74 (out of 100)

Financial: 97.50

Accountability/Transparency: 93.00

DJT Foundation:

No rating, Charity Navigator Moderate concern warning

It's hilarious but deeply saddening to see the same Congressional leaders who spat all over the Clinton Foundation for NOTHING turn around and say "There are no laws against this! The President CAN'T have conflicts of interest!"

Deeply troubling stuff. I can't believe people of such low integrity representing us on a values ticket.

I believe that he said he won't pull any US folks from Russia after Obama's sanctions were announced.

You know, he won't make retributions for our retributions for their spying and impacting the election.

He's just trolling America at this point.

But yeah, just for the record, we kicked out spies and closed Russian intelligence compounds here. This is Russia's response:


We shouldn't be softening to these people. Putin and his people are damn autocratic, authoritarian cowards. I mean, kick the diplomats out if you want. Don't do half measures that punish their children. This appears to be their way to try to force the diplomats out while maintaining plausible deniability.

Some Fox idiots are saying Putin/Russia should be given a clean slate when Trump becomes president.

The hell?

What kind of message is that to send? Invade whoever you want - we'll forgive you in 4-8 years.

 
The media -- including those that have been inclined to oppose Trump -- exists in part to normalize. This can be fairly harmless when the president is basically normal. At minimum, it provides a template for the media to decry him when they discover actions that stray from the norms he signals he affirms.

But norms are fragile, indeed. If the president questions all of them the media will be under enormous pressure to go along with it, to some extent.
